It wasn't much better. You submitted it 4 days after it was already in the queue. Yes, sometimes we take the better one but yours wasn't good enough to justify that because there wasn't much of a difference and you had a few mistakes that would have needed fixing, anyway. I was willing to transfer the info if you weren't. Let's not forget the band submission page says:"Before submitting, PLEASE verify that the band is not already in the submission queue!"

You could have added the information to the approved submission instead of resubmitting it after it was already accepted. I was giving you that time to do that if you cared about points. I'll update it now.

Sorry, I want to know why, when I added Suicide Movement, I recieve this answer

DSBM is my forte. "Pure DSBM" - no, i wouldn't call it that. That first track is borderline. Strip away the screams and it doesn't convince me. The second track is okay to me.

They weren't blacklisted, so it was submitted by another user and approved by another mod who presumably didn't know about the discussion here. Note that theunrelentingattack's post wasn't exactly a final "no", though.

Recently Nachtlich from Australia was rejected on the grounds that it is not a metal band. I think this is a mistake, Nachtlich is a black metal project with noise elements.

First release is a very limited demo, of which I have a copy. Further to this, Nachtlich has recently released a split via Wolfsvuur Records, a black metal label in The Netherlands. A flyer for the release is here: http://www.wolfsvuur.nl/images/flyer022014.jpg

Ok, when theunrelentingattack said "But that's 50/50 and that second one has a long ambient into, so right now I'd say no" I understand "No". Don't worry @Halloween, Suicide Movement it's on MA and that's cool. I hope that you, Mods, change the errors of line up and photo on SM's page

hii wanted to add the band Unhappy some time ago but it was not accepted because their releases were only available as downloads.they have a cd out now through depressive illusion records:it is a six way split:https://www.facebook.com/depressiveillu ... =1&theatercan i resubmit it now?

wasn't much better? I specified the year of foundation, the changed names, the lyrical themes, I add picture of the band and logo, band members and everything.... Man, NIHILIFER are from my hometown, I drink with them, How couldn't be my information better? My submit was better than the approved one, if you don't want to accept it, it's another matter. I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry but my submit deserves more respect. I want the accepted one to be deleted and It's nothing to do with "points", they (Nihilifer) asked me to submit the band with all the RIGHT information, you can not just reject my submit because "wasn't on time" or "someone's submit was already on queque". Please understand my point of view. The worst part of all is now other user ROB all the information I brought to this page and take the credits. I demand my submit to be accepted and the other one deleted.

Nope, totally wasn't a final "no" - I wasn't convinced at the time and I lost power during our last storm here so I hadn't had much chance to get back to this but I'm totally fine with it if Halloween heard something I hadn't gotten to.

I haven't heard this release yet but isn't Unhappy mostly ambient? Do you have any links to songs to prove they are the "Raw Black Metal" that DIR claims they are?

I've recently wanted to submit a band I released via my label, Unquiet Records.The band is called Fleshworld and is from Poland. Now I see the reason it was blacklisted might have something to do with the fact that in the beginning the band was very "un-metal", doing triphop/post-rock. This, however, is no longer the case.They now play post-metal/sludge metal with harsh vocals and black/death metal influences. Therefore I would like to ask for you to take the band off the blacklist.

The song on the split is random guitar chords and noise. The tracks on Myspace were noise. Not metal by a long shot.

Band "Liveride" from Russia has been blacklist. But it's atmospheric black metal. Also a few digital releases are available for download: http://myzuka.ru/Artist/39946/LiverideCan I added it again? Or was other reason for blacklisting?

The blacklisting doesn't say anything about the music - it's simply because there's no valid release. All digital, no valid distribution.

I did a search for Ovid's Withering, and saw the previous conversation where it was said we could submit them again, but when I try to submit them, it still shows them as blacklisted. Not sure if this is a mistake still? I'd call them orchestral melodic technical death metal, personally.

Hm well, that myzuka site seems like valid distribution? It's band-sanctioned, I assume?

I tried submitting the band MHÖNOS but they are blacklisted.Their 1st release was a solo ambiant drone project but they're now a band with a full line up playing Black Metal influenced Doom/Drone.

That track doesn't sound acceptable. Mostly noisy drone/ambient. This is certainly not something I'd call a definitive metal release (if the song is representative). At the very least, I'd like to have the entire release available for listening.

Hi,

I was looking in the search tab for Five Finger Death Punch to add some of their albums to my collection.It said that that band was blacklisted.

Maybe it has been asked on this thread before, I honestly don't know, I didn't read the full 261 pages.

Just a big fan of theirs, love them!Cheers,Aliyah \m/

Which conversation would that be? Any mention I can find with the search function is a "no" in regards to their musical acceptability.
